Proposed are a highly available information processing system and information processing method capable of withstanding a failure in units of sites. A redundancy group including a plurality of the storage controllers installed in different sites is formed, and the redundancy group includes an active state storage controller which processes data, and a standby state storage controller which takes over processing of the data if a failure occurs in the active state storage controller, and the active state storage controller executes processing of storing the data from a host application installed in the same site in the storage device installed in that site, and storing redundant data for restoring data stored in a storage device of a same site in the storage device installed in another site where a standby state storage controller of a same redundancy group is installed.
